Team News Stoke manager Tony Pulis is pondering his options for the right-back slot with Ryan Shotton serving a one-match ban for the visit of Everton.

Shotton was dismissed in the 90th minute of last Saturday's goalless draw at Aston Villa, collecting two yellow cards, and now Pulis must decide between Andy Wilkinson, Dean Whitehead or Matthew Upson as his replacement.

Pulis welcomes back Charlie Adam, with the midfielder completing his own one-game suspension, but there is still no room for Michael Owen as the striker remains short of fitness following recent groin and hamstring niggles.

Meanwhile, Everton forward Kevin Mirallas and defender Tony Hibbert are both unavailable and will be sidelined them for a number of weeks.

Mirallas' first match in a month last weekend ended after just 45 minutes with a recurrence of a hamstring injury while Hibbert is set to have surgery on a calf problem which has dogged him all season.

Manager David Moyes also reported a few knocks and niggles while captain Phil Neville is still recovering from a knee operation last month.
